Title: Multi-conversion radar detector having increased tuning range and self-calibrating function
Inventor: MARTINSON GLEN D
IPC: H03D7/16
Filed: 1999-07-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a broad band, multi-band radar detector which may be configured so as to have two or three down conversion stages. There are three mixers in the circuit, the second of which has a frequency synthesized local oscillator which is governed by a phase lock loop feedback circuit under the control of a microprocessor, so that the output frequency of the second local oscillator may be varied by an amount equal to ~ fadj. The first local oscillator is also under the control of the microprocessor, so that a specific intermediate frequency signal from the first mixer may be derived. By varying the frequency of the second frequency synthesized local oscillator, the tuning range of the radar detector may be increased in each frequency band of interest by an amount equal to ~ fadj for all frequency values in each respective frequency band of interest. The radar detector is self-calibrating detector, so that the output frequency from the first swept local oscillator may be accurately controlled by determining the specific tuning voltage for a specific first local oscillator frequency at which a particular incoming radar signal may be detected. This is accomplished by bypassing the second mixer, and controlling its output frequency so that a harmonic frequency will mix with the first local oscillator frequency to give a calibration response for any predetermined input radar frequency. Accordingly, the problem of drift of the tuning capability of the radar detector may be accurately controlled.

Patent CA-2339149-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ISHIHARA HIDENORI
IPC: E05F15/00
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: An automatic opening-and-closing device can be obtained which can prevent a foreign object from being caught in by detecting the foreign object even if an opening/closing speed of a moving body changes or the foreign object is small. An automatic sliding door device 10 detects that there is an foreign object on a locus of sliding of a door panel 14 , by detecting a pushing reaction force when a pressure sensitive sensor 60 pushes the foreign object at the time of forward sliding of the door panel 14 slides forward. Hence, even if the sliding speed of the door panel 14 changes, or even if the foreign object is small, the foreign object can be detected to thereby prevent the foreign object from being caught in the door. Moreover, with the automatic sliding door device 10, a code 80 is passed through inside of the door panel 14 and connected to a lower end portion of the pressure sensitive sensor 60 via a circular hole 110 formed at a lower end portion of the door panel 14. Hence, the detection range on the upper end side of the door panel 14 can be made wider, and management of the code 80 at the time of assembly becomes easy.

Title: Method for identifying compounds affecting rna/rna binding protein interactions
Inventor: TEMELES GRETCHEN L
IPC: C12Q1/6811
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: Disclosed are nucleic acid sequences which, when present in an RNA molecule, bind to RNA binding proteins. These nucleic acid sequences are present in untranslated regions of certain mRNA. They can be used in assays to identify compounds that affect the interaction of RNA containing the nucleic acid sequence, such as the source mRNA, and RNA binding proteins. The disclosed nucleic acid sequences can also be used to identify RNA binding proteins that can interact with the sequences. An assay for identifying compounds that affect interaction of RNA containing one of the disclosed nucleic acid sequences and RNA binding proteins is also disclosed. The assay involves detecting interactions between RNA binding proteins and an RNA molecule containing one of the disclosed nucleic acid sequences in the presence of a test compound and in the absence of the test compound. A difference in the detected interaction in the presence and absence of the test compound indicates that the compound affects the interaction. The identified compounds can be used to affect the interaction of RNA binding proteins with mRNA  containing the nucleic acid sequences or related sequences.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la détection d'une irrégularité (50b) sans arête dans une surface bombée présentant une structuration (50a) délimitée par des arêtes. L'invention concerne également la réalisation d'une représentation tridimensionnelle de la surface, l'extraction de la partie bombée de la représentation tridimensionnelle de la surface et le lissage des arêtes de la structuration, pour obtenir une représentation sans bombement de la surface bombée, laquelle présente l'irrégularité et la structuration dont les arêtes sont désormais lissées. L'invention concerne par ailleurs la comparaison de la représentation sans bombement avec une valeur seuil pour déterminer des régions planes de la représentation sans bombement. L'invention concerne d'autre part l'évaluation des surfaces des régions déterminées (50a, 50b), une région (50b) étant détectée comme irrégularité lorsque sa surface est supérieure à sa surface prédéterminée. Lors de l'utilisation de ce dispositif pour le contrôle qualité des pneumatiques, il est ainsi possible de détecter avec certitude et en temps réel des bosses ou des rétrécissements qui peuvent être différenciés d'un marquage présent intentionnellement sur le pneumatique. La filtration passe-bande s'effectue au moyen de deux filtres passe-bas. Le lissage est non linéaire. Les artéfacts de pixels et les artéfact sont éliminés. Le filtre mis en oeuvre est un filtre médian.

Title: Method of regulating a high temperature gaseous phase process and use of said method
Inventor: SCHNEWEIS STEFAN
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of regulating a high temperature gaseous phase process such as CVD or CVI on the basis of a measuring curve obtained by infrared spectroscopy. Said measuring curve indicates at least one spectral range that is characteristic of the regulation of the process and that differs from the background of the measuring curve. The aim of the invention is to allow a regulation of high temperature gaseous phase processes optimally and quickly even if the temperatures change during the process. To this end, a straight line is calculated directly from the measuring curve on the basis of the initial and the end values of the characteristic spectral range. The process is then regulated by integration of the spectral range above the straight line or by determination of the maximum height of the spectral range above the straight line or by referring to another characteristic value of the spectral range with respect to the straight line.

Title: Lock-step cursors for feature alignment
Inventor: SKOLL DAVID F
IPC: G06F3/0484
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: An apparatus (220) for extracting design and layout information from image-mosaics (232,234,236,238) of a progressive deconstruction of a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) includes a visual display (228), a system pointer and a plurality of lockstep cursors (252,254,256).  The visual display displays views of an area of interest of the respective image-mosaics. Each view displays one of the lock-step cursors when appropriate, as determined by a position of the system pointer. When the system pointer is within a view, a corresponding lock-step cursor is displayed as a master-cursor (258), while other views display a lock-step cursor that has a different size and shape than the master-cursor. All lock-step cursors move in unison under the control of the master-cursor. A method for extracting design and layout information from image- mosaics uses the lock-step cursors to quickly match features across image-mosaics, and to avoid transposition errors while tracing features from one image-mosaic to another,
